In a noteworthy development, Google is introducing a new feature in the Gemini app that enhances user interaction by allowing for tailored query responses. This feature, referred to as the “Thinking level,” will enable users to select between two distinct modes: “Standard” and “Extended.” This flexibility aims to cater to varying user needs, depending on the complexity of their inquiries.
Feature Rollout and Availability
The “Thinking level” option can be found at the bottom of the model picker within the Gemini app. Users who opt for either the “Fast” or “Pro” models will have the opportunity to choose their preferred thinking level. However, it is important to note that this feature is being rolled out gradually, which is characteristic of Google’s deployment strategy. As of now, not all users have access to this new functionality, including those with a Gemini AI Pro subscription.
Upcoming Integrations
In addition to the new thinking level feature, Google is also preparing to enhance the Gemini app with integrations from popular platforms such as Canva, Instacart, and OpenTable. The company’s support page has recently been updated with instructions on how to utilize these integrations, although they have yet to be fully rolled out. With these upcoming features, Gemini users will soon have the capability to:
- Design and manage assets using Canva.
- Add grocery items directly to their carts via Instacart.
- Make restaurant reservations through OpenTable.
Initially, these integrations will be available in English on both the Gemini app and its website, promising to streamline various tasks for users in a single platform.
